Neo Zen | A theme with weird features

[dusty oar]

Is it possible to remove the blue on page loading? Couldn't find the preference for that

[hidden gulch]

Is the same code that nebula uses for transitions, you can check the rules on his wiki i don't remember them ;-;, also there is a rule to turn off everything from nebula on neo zen wiki

[lunar copper]

how do I fix this issue, enabling the "Move the Neo bottom section to the bottom" doesn't move it to the bottom
but when I enable the option "Disable all the Neo features" then it moves it to the bottom
additionally i disabled all mods and then re-enabled them, i'm only using Super Pins and Neo Zen at the moment

[lunar copper]

and additionally this UI, but generally it works really well

[jade ice]

@hidden gulch 🫴

[hidden gulch]

let me se, maybe the firefox rule is not the same in the json settings

[violet nebula]

So i finally figured out how to get this installed but for some reason it doesn't look anything like it does in these screenshots the colors dont match at all am i doing something wrong?

[jade ice]

How did you install?

[hidden gulch]

oh, you have to set a custom color with the color picker

[jade ice]

@hidden gulch you there?

[hidden gulch]

[jade ice]

Which one to choose, Arch Linux or Cachy OS?

Or is there anything better...

[hidden gulch]

wanna get traumatized or be happy?

[jade ice]

Happy ofc.

[hidden gulch]

Cachy OS

It is my main os with hyprland

but i think niri is better

and niri + dank material shell is nice

[jade ice]

Yk what, I am gonna download both. Let's see it fr irl which one's suits better.

[hidden gulch]

At the end is the same, cachyos is arch based

you just don't suffer

[jade ice]

Niri is de...

[hidden gulch]

de??

[jade ice]

DE.

Desktop Environment.

[hidden gulch]

tiling window manager

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ILZevPGgJw

or you can use hyprland

maybe end4 dotfiles

or dank material shell with hyprland

[jade ice]

Eh, doesn't have blur...

[hidden gulch]

with hyprland i have blur on some apps, with niri i don't know

[jade ice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q827qLzXGfc

I'll decide via this.

[hidden gulch]

okokok

[jade ice]

So I'm gonna create 100 gb partition, and 50/50 it into cachy and arch!
Later will merge them when I like one over the other (idk if we can do that or not)

[hidden gulch]

Hmmm, check if your efi partition is bigger than 2gb

[jade ice]

Haven't created anything yet other than a 107 gb partition.

[jade ice]

Also, can you right click and the context menu real quick?

[hidden gulch]

this?

[jade ice]

Yeah, no blur there, I wanted that

Reason why I like windows!!!

[hidden gulch]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, but you can enable it

[jade ice]

https://tenor.com/view/valkyyo-gif-3267766330896927245

Howwwwwwwwwwwwwww?

[hidden gulch]

you can blur everything with hyprland but maybe you have to edit it with css to get it transparent and then if hyprland pop up blur is enable maybe it will work

[hidden gulch]

check your efi partition if you don't have like 4gb cachyos won't let you install it

is better to use limine instead of grub

limine recognize windows automatically

[jade ice]

Lol.

How to increase ts?

[hidden gulch]

use macrorit

macrorit expert partition

do not use the linux live to do that, i did it with kde partition manager 😄 got an error and than 2 hours trying to fix it

[jade ice]

Ok, will see you tomorrow ig noe... 🥀

Like this completed so quickly...

[hidden gulch]

xD

oh

and use ventoy

instead of rufus

[jade ice]

What's special init?

[hidden gulch]

you install ventoy in the usb as a boot loader

so

you can copy paste any iso

to the empty partition

and you can have multiple iso files inside it

when you boot from the ventoy usb you will be able to select the iso

so you don't have to format the usb each time you want to install something

[jade ice]

Ooh, let's try this one this time.

[hidden gulch]

maybe this settings work for pop ups

to blur context menus

[jade ice]

It does? Damn edit it and send a pic rq!

[hidden gulch]

is there a mod to change the context menus with css?

[jade ice]

I think transparent zen mod.

[hidden gulch]

nope

looks like the blur is there but it needs to be transparent

[vast mantle]

how you remove the line from sidebar and inner window?

[hidden gulch]

line?

[jade ice]

Yk what he means

[hidden gulch]

;-; i dont know man

[scarlet portal]

@hidden gulchcan u see dms

[mint mirage]

@hidden gulch hey! i just downloaded zen browser and i like your customizations, hwoever i don't know how to download your mods etc. Could i get some help?

[hidden gulch]

I do not recommend using neo zen with the actual version

[jade ice]

Why?

[hidden gulch]

Cause i don't know if it works yet

[hidden gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-sleep-orange-cat-cat-falling-asleep-sleepy-cat-cat-sleepy-gif-16787743594167330608

nope no more updates, looks like he did everything to remove any way to change the background

so

this doesn't work anymore

:root body:has(#PanelUI-zen-gradient-generator-view>#PanelUI-zen-gradient-generator-controls>#PanelUI-zen-gradient-colors-wrapper>#PanelUI-zen-gradient-opacity-wrapper>#PanelUI-zen-gradient-generator-opacity[style="--zen-thumb-height: 40px; --zen-thumb-width: 10px;"]) {
@media -moz-pref("zen.view.window.scheme", 0) or -moz-pref("zen.view.window.scheme", 2) {
--Neo-Elements: White !important;
--Neo-Background: black !important;
--zen-main-browser-background: #00000080 !important;

}

@media -moz-pref("zen.view.window.scheme", 1) {
    --Neo-Elements: black !important;
    --Neo-Background: #d0d0d0 !important;
    --zen-main-browser-background: transparent !important;
}

--zen-main-browser-background-toolbar: var(--Neo-Blur-Color) !important;

}

:root[zen-sidebar-expanded="true"] #1088172782178799657-main-app-wrapper *:not(#urlbar){
color: var(--Neo-Elements) !important;
}

:root:not([zen-sidebar-expanded="true"]) #1088172782178799657-main-app-wrapper *:not(#urlbar):not(.tab-group-label){
color: var(--Neo-Elements) !important;
}

to keep the colors and remove the background

[jade ice]

Why you even need to change bg?
And if it's not possible, just include JS and problem solved!

[hidden gulch]

nah

[jade ice]

🥺

[hidden gulch]

I don't want to use js

[jade ice]

😭

https://klipy.com/gifs/silly-175

[hidden gulch]

Now zen modifies the background directly, nothing to do for me

[jade ice]

Mauro said to do this.

@hidden gulch

Will that resolve theme issues with backgrounds in CSS.

[hidden gulch]

but that's not a permanent solution

[hidden gulch]

it overrides the background directly, changing the variable doesn't work

[hidden gulch]

e.e let me see

[jade ice]

Yeah talk to him about this

[hidden gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/calculation-cat-gif-26041269

[hidden gulch]

It may be little, but around 230 lines of code were removed from here, and still a better result was achieved with new functions

I noticed that NeoZen version 2 performs very poorly, especially when switching between workspaces. I hope to resolve this issue soon

[jade ice]

E.e working on NeoZen again!

I couldn't be more happy!

[hidden gulch]

Blur using hyprland... maybe it could be applied to the floating search bar too

[jade ice]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-ishowspeed-shocked-meme-funny-gif-16202716903781766308

Blur in menus!!!

https://tenor.com/view/cat-wiggle-shaking-dancing-gif-11762357525050887212

[hidden gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-wiggle-shaking-dancing-gif-11762357525050887212

It will be enabled by default for linux, won't affect any other platform

[jade ice]

Man just tell how you did that fine shi!!!

[hidden gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/battle-cat-air-cat-pilot-cat-cat-war-cat-gif-9888863539466296855

everything is in the branch rewrite

in the

file inside

Neo-PopUpMenu

with this part

/* NeoZen: Looks like using the media query for the linux platform can change the background color and the border color of the popup menus,
without changing it for the other platforms, so I moved the background color and the border color to be inside the media query for linux */
@media (-moz-platform: linux) {
--panel-background: color-mix(in srgb, var(--Neo-Background) 60%, var(--Neo-Glow-Color-1) 2%) !important;
--panel-border-color: transparent !important;
}

and for the blur you need to enable the popup blur in your hyprland settings

[jade ice]

@hidden gulch How is it going?

[hidden gulch]

It's going well with the old version i get 16 or 17

Now the tabs are just 1 file and another file for containers, I still need to add more things, like modifications to the search bar

[jade ice]

Btw the latest firefox 150 update killed blur with pseudo bg, so do you have any workaround for it?

[hidden gulch]

Killed the blur, or killed the pseudo?

[jade ice]

Killed blur for pseudo precisely.

@hidden gulch you can still blur the sidebar, but it only works as long as pages in web view are solid.

Did you not update Zen as it seems like this is a news to you.

[hidden gulch]

Maybe, just maybe we can use this one but instead of using "browser" we could use "#1275869795941744640-window"

[hidden gulch]

I'm not trying to add pseudos yet, maybe i won't even add them

[jade ice]

WHAT?
Then how did you made sidebar and urlbar blur when pages are transparent as well?

I think I remember you did add pseudo in neozen

[hidden gulch]

With the older version using the same clip-path as JADP, ;-; I'm doing a complete rewrite of the code, that's why there are still some things missing

hmmm

did you tried changing browser for "#browser"?

[jade ice]

Ping when you reply...
Well I never tried this though.

[next echo]

@hidden gulch hey man if I may ask, when will you push your recent changes to main?

[hidden gulch]

It shouldn’t take long, but the SSD where I had the project failed, so I need to save it first before continuing. If you notice things missing, it’s because most of it will be removed.

You can download the next version from the rewrite branch. [It is incomplete]

[jade ice]

Soooooooo.

What has been the progress, feline?

[hidden gulch]

https://giphy.com/gifs/9mc-smile-cat-sad-so-lGBecpB2dIMwt6ohfI

[hidden gulch]

trying to fix ssd, the project is safe but i need to know if the ssd died

[jade ice]

Damn

Good thing SSD are cheap.

So you can get one if this one is not fixable.

[blissful haven]

tf is that

i cant even do anything

bcs i cant see anything

[hidden gulch]

disable nebula

also

don't use the main branch

[hidden gulch]

If you downloaded it from sine, than ckeck the read.me file

[hidden gulch]

Can you tell me if the twilight version can blur without a pseudo background on windows?

[jade ice]

Bro blur is possible only on opaque bg.
You know better than me that without pseudo bg, CSS just can't add blur to transparency.

Fuck you FF 150 update

[hidden gulch]

I'm not hallucinating I swear

no pseudos is the default compact

i don't know why it is working @jade ice

e.e

OMG

[jade ice]

Ay bro can you plz send a screenshot of your Zen version?

How tf is it working for you if you're on the latest version I can't understand

[hidden gulch]

twilight version

[jade ice]

Does it also work on beta?

[jade ice]

Anyways send screenshot of Zen version

[hidden gulch]

nope

only on twilight version

[jade ice]

Seems like Mauro added back the support!

I missed transparent Zen so badly!

[hidden gulch]

Yeah but the miracle is that is working without pseudos

the backdrop filter doesn't need pseudos anymore

[jade ice]

What did Mauro do!

[hidden gulch]

He sold his soul to something

[jade ice]

Man I'll go to Spain and give him a hug 🫂

[hidden gulch]

What type of miracle is this

ohhhhhhhhhhhh nvm zen toolbar background is the pseudo

makes sense.... i don't know why this is not in the actual version but looks good now we can modify 3 lines and get different result

[next echo]

you latest changes, got this score just now

[hidden gulch]

Is this with version from the rewrite branch?

[next echo]

yes

it's been quite smooth, I like it!

[hidden gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-wiggle-shaking-dancing-gif-11762357525050887212

nice

thank you for the feedback : D

[next echo]

Thanks for the efforts and time you put into it, mate!

[umbral rock]

Okay this is going to sound stupid, but I'm new to Zen and would love to figure out how to download this (:

[jade ice]

Download Sine by following this guide.
Then install NeoZen by pasting this link sent below in Sine.

[hidden gulch]

Use the branch "rewrite" to download it, https://github.com/JustVibingWhileCoding/Neo-Zen/tree/Rewrite

[jade ice]

Oi, what's up?

Are you all good?
